There’s not too many things better than a vegan chocolate milkshake on a hot summer day. Except maybe for a vegan chocolate peach milkshake on a hot summer day. Chocolate and peaches may sound like an unlikely combination, but to me it feels really natural.
The salty, but perfectly ripe peaches on top add just the right amount of summery flavor. And the touch of crunch from the cacao nibs is just perfect. As you know from my body of work, I’m a big fan of not-too-sugary, desserts. Like this vegan chocolate mousse pudding. I also really love desserts with a light salty finish as it tones down the sugar and balances your tastebuds. And this milkshake encompasses all of that.
How to make a vegan milkshake.
All you need are a few ingredients to make this vegan milkshake. Firstly, choose your favorite dairy-free chocolate ice cream. Then make sure your peaches are really ripe and juicy. Then you need a few pantry staples like a good quality salt and olive oil to make the peach topping.
This milkshake comes together in just a few minutes. And if you want to use a rich, full-dairy ice cream – you totally can. The recipe will not change, and it’s totally up to you to do what feels best for your tastebuds and body. I support your decision to do either one.
I’m not really into national food days. But, I am definitely into national food months. And, July is National Ice Cream month – so let’s celebrate! I’m gonna be treating myself and cooling off from this heat with this vegan chocolate milkshake more than once or twice. It’s good enough for a simple dessert when you have friends over and balanced enough for an afternoon snack.
